Be it known that I, CHARLES ScHMni' r, a citizen of the -United St'ates,-;residing at Clifton, in the county of Passaic a'nddtate of Ne'w Jersey, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in Curtain andv V Shade Pole Fixtures, of which the following which the pole carrying elements may be ad 7 is a specification. i r t This invention relates to improvements in combined curtain and shade pole fixtures or support brackets as used in dwellings, ofiioes and like places where it is desired to partially prevent thepassage of light, as at the windows of thebuilding, by draperies more or less dense and opaque. I '1 The principal purpose of the invention is to produce a simple and efiicient type of hanger for receiving the ends of the sup-1 porting poles, the hangers being suited to receive fastening means for attachment to walls adjacent the openings to'be obscured.

Another object is to provide means by justed transversely of the window opening, upon fixed backing elements and secured at any point therealong, to suit the length of the poles used. 7

A further aim is in the provision of an integral spring detent on the slidable element, the same co-operating with a rack formed in the stationary element, in addition to; a clamping means associated with bothelements. g

These objects are attained by' the novel construction and arrangement of'parts here after described and shown in; the 'accom panyingdrawing, forming part of this dis closure, and in which Y Figure 1. is a perspective view showing a pair of'hangers made 111 accordancewith r to a conventional type of Window.

7 the invention and showin r their application fasteners in a manner well understood, and.

each of the 5 longitudinal ed the gupperi-and' lower, are towards thefront-as-Tat :16 and; l' Z; ;-;;Q V. ;,Said flanges :form guides" for flatpla'tes 118,;rest-ing againstt'heb'asesplatesLLHand provided with central longitudinal slots'19 the length of the shade roller'or curtain fpole. r I

flanged outwardl for-the reception of bolts 20, havirfgtheir The outer ends ges,' that is to say heads fixed in Itheplates let near their cen 'ters and being provided with thumb nuts-21 impinging upon the outer surfaces of the plates 18.- I a of the'slid'e plates maybe J :1

curved or bevelled as shown, and attachedto their inner ends, by rivets 22,. are the trans verse feet 23 of'the brackets 24chaving re-&

cesses25 containing s1ots'26 to receive the Y pintles of the shade rollers,i(not"shown) as" will be apparent. fi The curtain pole rests in Ug shape'd' loops .27, formed by bending narrow metal strips. 1

'As shown in Figure 8,the lower flangeo17 bracket elements lower ends-29Iwhich are secured by -rivets;30 to the of the stationarybase plate is out to presenta plurality of teeth 31,- uniformly spaced like a rack andadaptedto receive a detent 32 at the end ofan arm, 33forme1d integral j with the slide plate 18 by the screw 20v and its associated nut 21, the

slide plate is held ini longitudinal adjust 'theslot 3 1, the 7 plate being recessed"asiat 35to provide a thin resilient efi'ect in the arm. i 7

Thus in addition to the clamping efi'ect of I ment by the springdetent 32, butfinsuch I manner-that upon relaxing the nut, the slide may bemanuallymo-ved relative to the base a l I by the/exertion of moderate force, thus providingready and positiveineans'foradjusting the, distances between the pair of han ers to su t an reasonable variation'in Having thus'described my invention and set forth the manner of its application, r j what I claim asnew and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is:'-' f 7 1. A hade hanger bracket comprising a I fplate having cut turnedfianges on its'upper and lower edges, a slide. operable between i said flanges, said slide having a longitudinal slot closed at eachvend the outer end of said slide being bevelled outwardly to accommodate the slot, a bolt fixed centrally in said base plate passing through the a slot, a;

thumb nut engaging said bolt on the outerside of said slide, an angular bracket fixed 0n the inner end of said slide, said bracket being adapted to engage a shade roller pintle, an open looped support'secur'ed to said bracket to receive one end of a curtain pole, and an integral spring arm formed on said slide to make resilient Contact. with one of said out-turned flanges.

'2. A shade hanger comprising a base plate having out-turned flanges on its upper and lower edges, a slide operable between said flanges, said slide having, an enclosed longitudinal slot the outer end of said slide being bevelled to accommodate; the slot, a bolt fixed centrally in said base plate pass ing through the slot, a thumb nut engaging said bolt on the outer side of said slide, an angular bracket fixed on the inner end of said slide, said bracket being adapted to engage a shade roller pintle, teeth formed in the lower flanges of said base plate, and a spring detent integral With said slide adapted to engage in the spaces between said teeth.

In Witness whereof I, have afiixed my sir nature.
